Project Description
Referred to as the Terminal in a Garden, T2 is a tribute to the Garden City of Bengaluru. BIAL said that the terminal is meant to be a “walk in the garden”, with passengers travelling through 10,000+ square metres of green walls, hanging gardens, and outdoor gardens built through indigenous technology. Located on the north-eastern side of Terminal-1, T2 spans 255,661 square meters of area and is equipped to handle 25 million passengers annually.
Design and Construction Team
Terminal 2 is to be developed in 2 phases to handle 25 million passengers per annum in Phase 1 and 45 million passengers per annum in Phase 2. It’s been designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) architects and its civil construction contract was awarded to Larsen & Toubro with a value of approximately Rs. 3000 crore.
Project Requirement
The project was founded on four pillars: technological leadership, the idea of a terminal in a garden, environmental and ecological stewardship, and a celebration of Karnataka’s rich heritage and culture. A big draw of Terminal-2 will be its ‘hanging garden’.
The facility was spread across G+3 three floors. Though the height of the entire structure was 12.6 meters above the ground level, the pipe routing was complex with long horizontal and vertical lines. Bearing in mind not to spoil the elevation of the building, all the vertical shafts were mandated to be closed and could not protrude through the roof.

Project Requirement
The builder was looking for a product that would be maintenance-free and which is easy and quick to install.
In addition, in terms of the safety function of the system for long years, the concern about future corrosion in pipes which can result in the failure of the system or blocking of the sprinkler head had to be addressed. The builder was looking for a system that can function properly over a long period of time without worrying about his clients residing in the homes built by them. The consultant has proposed the best alternative to MS/GI pipes and suggested the CPVC by also keeping in view the safety aspects.
Ashirvad Solution
Considering the requirement of the builder, the Ashirvad team worked along with the consultant and in-house team of the builder and proposed the BlazeMaster Fire Sprinkler System as the best solution for their requirement.
Ashirvad’s technical design team supported the project with drawings and BOQ calculations, hydraulic calculations for piping sizing, and sprinkler placements. The interior flow of pipes has been designed to save space.
BlazeMaster CPVC is a Fire Protection system that is corrosion free and always ensures 100% flow of water from the sprinkler heads. Moreover, the lead times are shorter due to faster installation with less manpower. This results in minimal delays and on-time project delivery.

Project Requirement
They were using regular GI pipes for the fire solution. But after the factory visit of Mr. Karthik, the CEO, he was totally convinced to use Blazemaster. It is a high-rise building, and they understood the ease of using CPVC firefighting material.
The supply and installations of the BlazeMaster are going on parallelly for Phase – 1 of the project.

The builder was looking for a new technology that would be maintenance-free and can be installed faster for optimum utilization of the resources and provide saving in terms of manpower, installation time, and material and prove to be a valuable addition to the project.
In addition, in terms of the safety function of the system for long years, the concern about future corrosion in pipes which can result in the failure of the system or blocking of the sprinkler head had to be addressed. In short, the asset owner was looking for a system that can function properly over a long period of time without worrying about his clients residing in the homes built by them.
Basically, they were looking for solutions other than the metal piping for the sprinkler system that would make sure the right replacement to conventional metal piping for the fire sprinkler system.
Considering the requirement of the builder, the Ashirvad team worked along with the in-house MEP team of the builder and proposed the BlazeMaster Fire Sprinkler System as the best solution for their requirement.
Ashirvad’s technical design team supported the project with drawings and BOQ calculation, the hydraulic calculation for piping sizing, and sprinkler placements. One of the key suggestions were to limit the length to 125 meters so 2 shafts were considered in the design. The interior flow of pipes has been designed to save space.

Embassy TechVillage is strategically located in the heart of Bangalore’s IT corridor and well connected with the IT hubs of Whitefield and Electronic City as well as all parts of the city including easy access to the city’s central business district (CBD). The 106-acre development is planned as an integrated project with commercial, retail, and residential components. The project has a total potential built-up-office area in excess of 10 million sq. ft.
Currently, 6.1 million sq. ft. of the area has already been developed and features a sports facility, medical center, and gym. Embassy TechVillage also provides amenities such as dining, recreation, safety, emergency, and other supporting facilities. The remaining area of 1.6 million sq. ft. is under development, and 5.2 million sq. ft. is dedicated for future development.
The top 7 clients include CISCO, SONY, Flipkart, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Software AG & CSG
RSP (India) was assigned with the responsibility of designing Flipkart’s flagship campus inside the Embassy TechVillage. The scope of services included Master Planning, Building Design, C/S Engineering, M&E Engineering, and Interior Design. RSP (India) is a premier design consultancy and an associate of RSP Singapore, one of the largest and most reputed global multidisciplinary design group with over 60 years of experience in creating a transformative built environment.
The Flipkart campus has a common basement for its 3 towers with all the drainage header lines running in the basement floor ceiling and are interconnected before joining to the STP. The maintenance team was finding multiple issues:
1. Negative pressure transients at the lower floor toilets
2. Impact on the STP air ventilation due to lack of proper air ventilation of drainage pipes and longer horizontal pipe length in the basement.
Being a prestigious commercial project where the brief was providing ‘a retail-like experience and not the typical commercial office’, the design team was not able to take the drainage stacks above the parapet wall as it could have spoiled the elevation of the project. Hence, they terminated the stacks below the parapet wall level resulting in the foul smell from stacks emitting in the terrace.
Moreover, at the same level on the terrace, the building had its Air Handling Unit (AHU) Fan system to supply fresh air to all the rooms inside the building. This led the AHU Fans to spread the foul smell which was coming from stacks.
Ashirvad’s category team and the Aliaxis High-rise team worked closely with the consultant’s team to find a sustainable solution to the problems faced by the occupants. The proposed solution included the installation of a Maxi -Vent along with an Aluminum cover for each stack to deal with the negative pressure transient that was generating below floors and also to aid the proper ventilation of STP.
Since the Maxi vent is a one-way valve that opens to nullify any negative pressure transients generated in the system, there was no chance of any foul smells getting out from the stacks. Hence, Ashirvad was able to successfully provide a working solution to remove the foul smell from the AHU rooms.
The following products were used for the solution
